Atlantic lows in charge - A blustery week for all

An area of low-pressure moving in from the Atlantic will bring a notably windy day across much of the UK and Ireland on Tuesday, a theme of the week to come.

As the system moves east, strengthening winds will develop through the early morning in Ireland, becoming increasingly blustery by afternoon in the UK too.

The strongest gusts are expected along the Irish Sea coasts, hills, and exposed routes. Here, gusts of up to 55 mph (90 km/h) are likely at times. South-west England also feel the initial force, with slightly stronger gusts of up to 60 mph (97 km/h) in Plymouth.

These conditions could lead to some travel disruption, with difficult driving conditions on exposed roads and bridges, as well as the risk of fallen branches. Coastal areas may also see rough seas and large waves.

Wet and windy conditions will be the theme of the week with consecutive low-pressure areas moving in from the Atlantic.
